    halloween is an annual celebration, but just what is it actually a celebration of? and how did this peculiar custom originate? is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual?

    万圣节是一年一度的庆祝活动,不过它究竟是在庆祝什么呢?而且,这种奇特的习俗又是怎么开始的呢?它是否,正如某些人所说的,是对鬼怪的一种崇拜?或者只是古代某些异教徒(举行宗教)仪式遗留下来的一种无害的风俗?

    the word itself, "halloween," actually has its origins in the catholic church. it comes from a contracted corruption of all hallows eve. november 1, "all hollows day" (or "all saints day"), is a catholic day of observance in honor of saints. but, in the 5th century bc, in celtic ireland, summer officially ended on october 31. the holiday was called samhain (sow-en), the celtic new year.
